try using a special lint roller made for dog hair removing, you could put a plastic thing on your couchbut it'd be like going to an old person's house
Get rid of the dogs.
Buy new furniture.

I'm going through the same thing. I have two white Jack Russells. We are getting ready to but new furniture and we are going to put covers on them. That way you can pull them off and wash them. I use a Scotch Brite sticky roller. One of the big huge ones. You can find them at lots of stores. They work awesome for rugs and stuff. Good Luck. I know what you are going through.
Someone sent me this today:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS-
1. They live here you don't
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes stay off the funiture. (that's why they call it "fur-niture.)
3. I like my pets more than I like most people
4. To you it's an animal but to me he/she is an son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours, and doesn't speak clearly.

I've found the absolute easiest way is to use the vacuum brush attachment on the furniture. Those sticky lint/hair rollers and lint brushes also work pretty well. The problem with the sticky ones for me is it takes too many sheets. Recently I found this "brush" that has soft rubber bristles that works very well. I got it in the pet section of the grocery store -- so I'm sure you could find one almost anywhere.
I don't know of anything you can apply to the furniture other than towels or blankets. There is a product some groomers offer (that I'm sure you can also buy) called shed ender or something to that effect that you can use when shampooing your dog. It's supposed to reduce shedding -- but I've never tried it.

they make these rubber brushes that can be used on the dogs and on the furniture! they have little rubber bristles, and then on the side it is flat so you can use it like a scraper. they sell them at petco and even walmart i think.
heres a link to one. they work great and i have a pit mix so i bet he has similar hair to your boxers!

I bought a flat sheet from Walmart that is the same color as my couch. It was only about $3-$4. I tuck the sheet in so it fits almost like a slipcover over the cushions. When it gets full of hair, I just pull it off and throw it in the washing machine. Once it's dry, it goes right back on the couch.
As for cleaning the furniture before you cover it, I use a brush from a company called Meguiar's. It's designed for a car, but works just as well on my couch. http://www.megu… The rubber bristles pull the hair right off the furniture and I follow up with a good vacuum to pull all the laggers off.
Hope this helps!

Wal Mart has a cool sponge that pet hair just gravitates towards, it is reusable so its less waste than a lint roller, i love it
I'm not sure this will address your current issue, but once you get the hair off, trying putting a blanket or towel on the area the dog normally sits. I keep a blanket over 2 cushions on mine and just wash that regularly. By looking at the furniture you'd never know he was there!

I have a Siberian Husky in Florida, so I'm quite familiar with getting dog hair out of furniture :-) The best thing that works for us is the vacuum. The lint rollers work well, but take so many sheets to get the job done.
A cover of some sort would keep the hair out of the furniture, but you pretty much have to wash it as frequently as you'd have to clean the cover-less furniture, so It's really a personal choice.

a damp sponge is a quick way to get pet hair off the furniture and clothes. the sponge will need to be toss away because it will be hard to remove hair from it. but the sponges are cheap enough to buy a lot. it's a quick. then you can use the sticky brush or a rubber mitt design for removing hair from pet and furniture
ok you have small dogs so that makes the work easier lol
( I have mastiffs,rottweilers,great pyrenees,pits and bulldogs all in my house so I understand dog hair LOL)
the cheapest and easiest and actually one of the best dog hair removers is a latex dish washing glove, slip it on and rub over the furniture, it rolls the hair out and pulls it out better then a brush,vacuum or adhesive roller.

Use the same type of lint roller that you would use on your clothing. Try putting a blanket over the couch, so the hair doesn't stick to your furniture. Wash the blanket, and presto!
you can try lint rollers etc... but the best thing I found was sticky tape
Get a rubber brush. You should be able to get it in the pet section at walmart. They work well. Then once you get it clean you have to cover the furniture or teach them not to go on the Furniture. I don't have that problem. My Schnauzer brings sticks in the house and hide.
